EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING.-There are
several methods, by the use of which fresh
fruit can be preserved for long time in
good condition, and the Woodland Demo
Il
mept in that line: Friday afternoon,
Tenn Marshal Hoyt brought to this Office
several clusters of Muscatel grapes that he
had preserved in novel manner. Beyond
q slight shrinkage, no difference was OBJ
servable in their form, and their taste was
unimpaired. His mode of preserving the
fruit is very simple. He took each cluster
of grapes and cut all the bruised and rotten
ones off with pair of scissors. The end
of the cluster was then Theoretically sealed
by immersing it in hot fruit wax. The
vitality of the fruit is thus retained, and if
placed in a cool place will keep for months.
The Marshal has another box put away at
home which he will not open until April.
1t certainly is an experiment worth try
ing"
